Vickey Barron snags a Walker Tower condo of her own

UPDATED, 2:35 p.m., May 27: Vickey Barron, the exclusive real estate broker for the Walker Tower in Chelsea, bought her own condominium unit in the building, today’s property records show. Barron bought a single residential unit on the ninth floor for almost $2.29 million, city records indicate.

Barron’s one-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment measures 1,350 square feet, according to PropertyShark, selling for $1,697 per square foot. The sale is the cheapest to date at Walker Tower. A 1,730 square foot unit on the same floor was sold to Florida-based Jha Holdings LLC for $4.07 million in March of this year, at $2,354 per square foot, according to PropertyShark.

Neither Barron nor a Douglas Elliman spokesperson for Walker Tower were immediately available to comment.

Penthouse Two is the only unit in the building that’s still on the market for an asking price of $47.5 million, a spokesperson for Walker Tower told The Real Deal, while the Douglas Elliman website still lists six available properties in the building.
